We will have some additional program options becoming available in the spring for beginners to intermediate-level sailors running throughout the late spring/summer season. \nQ: What if I miss a class?\nA: We do not have any make-up classes planned; however\, the instructors are really great about summarizing previous lessons and helping you feel as though you are caught up with important information. \nQ: What if the weather is not very good?\nA: Rain or shine we will go out on the water. If there is a lack of wind during the on-water sessions\, we will still proceed as we can cater the lesson to cover plenty of hands-on experience topics.
